Abstract:

A 69 years old woman with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) (chronic type) was referred for a fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT). Multiple hypermetabolic pulmonary and bone lesions were evidence. The patient underwent chemotherapy, but did not respond, and she died approximately 8 months from the onset of symptoms. Autopsy showed ATL cells infiltrating the lung parenchyma and the pulmonary hilum. In conclusion, we present a case of hypermetabolic pulmonary lesions associated with thoracic CT findings on a (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan in a patient with a chronic adult T-cell leukemia.

Disorders of Leukocytes

Disorders of Leukocytes

Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
